Features/Before using

 What is KDTC530

KDTC530 is a communication terminal which is mounted on a vehicle to form a system
together with server application software on the base station side and used to control
movement of the vehicle and monitor it from a remote place.

 Features

● KDTC530 uses GSM (Global System for Mobile Communications), so it can communicate
in a lot of countries that GSM is used. (A communication contract is required in
each place where KDTC530 will communicate, however.)

● KDTC530 has GPS function to be able to show the present position of the vehicle
on which it is mounted.

● When KDTC530 is connected to the local network in the vehicle, it can collect the
information of errors in the vehicle, sensors, and etc.

 Before using

● Since KDTC530 is a wireless device using radio waves, so it is necessary to obtain
authorization and conform to the laws of the country or territory where the machine
equipped with KDTC530 is being used. It can be used only countries where use of
it is permitted. For the countries where use of KDTC530 is permitted, ask your
Komatsu distributor.

● Always contact your Komatsu distributor when exporting or reselling a vehicle
equipped with KDTC530. Note that the radio communication function of KDTC530 may
be turned off forcibly, when the vehicle is out of the countries or areas where
use of KDTC530 is permitted.

● Before using KDTC530, you are required to take some procedures such as application
for start of use. For details, ask your Komatsu distributor.

● KOMTRAX system uses wireless communications, so it cannot be used inside tunnels,
underground inside buildings, or in mountain areas where radio waves cannot be
received. Even when the machine is outside, it cannot be used in areas where the
radio signal is weak or in areas outside the wireless communication.

● There is absolutely no need to inspect or operate KDTC530, but if any abnormality
is found, please consult your Komatsu distributor.
